The problem with Maher's bleatings about the Republicans 'accusing' the Democrats of socialism is the simple fact that a growing number of Democrats are self-avowed socialists.

Surprised? US has been pushed pretty far in one direction for quite awhile. The pendulum generally swings back just as far...

“Once more let me remind you what fascism is. It need not wear a brown shirt or a green shirt–it may even wear a dress shirt. Fascism begins the moment a ruling class, fearing the people may use their political democracy to gain economic democracy, begins to destroy political democracy in order to retain its power and special privilege.” - Tommy Douglas

Stocks Jump Higher as Trump Escalates Trade War

The latest escalation in the trade war did not have the dire consequences many predicted for the stock market.

Stocks rose Tuesday after the Trump administration announced new tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese goods and China promised to retaliate with tariffs on an additional $60 billion of U.S. goods.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 184 points, or 0.74 percent. The S&P 500 rose by half a percentage point. The Nasdaq Composite advanced eight-tenths of a percentage point.

The rise in U.S. stocks was all the more notable because the new tariffs are scheduled to go into effect September 24, sooner than many expected. And while the tariffs level will initially be 10 percent, as had been rumored for several days, that will rise to 25 percent on January 1.

Trump’s Dick Reportedly Looks Like Toad From Mario Kart

Well, we can’t say we weren’t warned. In April, Stormy Daniels’s attorney Michael Avenatti revealed that the adult-film star could “describe the president’s genitalia in great detail.” Now, in her new book Full Disclosure, Daniels apparently does vividly explain President Donald Trump’s penis after all, much to the world’s chagrin.

The Guardian obtained a copy of the book, and has shared all the phallic information about the president that we’ve never wanted to know and now cannot unread. First, the book goes into detail about Daniels’s disbelief at seeing Trump winning the Republican primary (“He doesn’t even want to be president,” she recalls thinking). She also writes of her fear about having such a sensitive story about the president, and her decision to sign a $130,000 hush agreement to not discuss their alleged affair.

But then, the book goes south, erm, quite literally, when Daniels describes a night she spent with Trump. Per the Guardian:

She describes Trump’s penis as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small.”

“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …

“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart …

“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”
